Welcome

Modern Languages & Literatures

Take Your Story OFF THE PAGE

At the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures, we don’t just teach you to speak a new language. We immerse our students in culture. Take a trip down the river Seine and imagine drinking coffee and eating croissant with Marion Cotillard. Or kick a soccer ball with 2014 World Cup Champ Thomas Müller in Munich. Perhaps discussing Don Quixote over tapas in Madrid is more your speed.

Resources such as our Kawasaki Reading Room, Language Resource Center, the Language Lab, and the Global Classroom enable our students to have experiences beyond their current worldview. We teach them to think big, and to watch opportunities expand along with their perspective.

This big world of ours is increasingly connected, so we prepare our students to navigate it not just intellectually, but personally. Wherever you want to be in the world, we will take you there.
